Sorry to take so long to respond but no one touched this for several days. You're on the right track Canus. Think of other synonyms than cross for the condition of acrimony. hope this doesn't give too much away but the one word you're looking for is a Sindarin name.
Btw Morthaur, that was a pretty creative guess and I can see how ya got there but not correct.

Clever again, but alas, again incorrect. It's the name of a thing and it belonged to Thingol. I'm afraid I must have done something wrong cause y'all are too clever not to have gotten it yet.
p.s. A foil is a name for a type of the item which is the answer. See what I'm sayin'?

Arboreal Chin Dirt, well arboreal of a tree or trees (pertaining to trees) and chin dirt, hmmm, I remember in my youth a friend's mother always asking her son's friends who wore facial hair hair why they don't wash their face, why they want that dirt on their chin and lip ("You sucha handsome boy, Why you no washa you face?"). So, Arboreal = tree, Chin Dirt = beard. Tree Beard (2 words) Fangorn (1 word) of course Treebeard as a name would work for 1 too.

Yeah, that was easy. Let's see if this is a bit tougher.

This makes me think of conflict diamonds. The only Tolkien related event I can think of is when Beren and Luthien managed to steal one of the Silmarils from Morgoth's Iron Crown. Probably way off but that's my guess.

Because it is made by Eru and valar in the song - therefore it is sacred too. It is sacred to its inhabitants, I think, and perhaps sacred can be used to describe the meaning of Arda to Yavanna, Ulmo and Oromë too. Demesne might refer to the fact Arda was placed under the leadership of Manwë - making Arda to be the lands of Manwë (and other valar) whose only superior ("the Crown", if Manwë is thought as a lord of a manor) is Eru.

"'Nonetheless they will have need of wood', said Aulë and he went on with his smith-work."

I can't fault your reasoning, however, perhaps you've forgotten a step or are unfamiliar w/ the 3-2-1;
3 words in the original clue, you want to break that down to 2 words which in turn will lead you to the 1 word answer.
Too early for any more hint than that.
Btw, if I have explained 321 incorrectly someone help us out w/ a better explanation. Also I hope I did not come across as condescending as it was not my intention.
You're fairly close.

You not only got the concept but ya solved the puzzle. It is your turn to pose a riddle.
The name of the game is 3 word trivia but you do not have to stick w/ the 3 2 1 format. you could just pose a simple 3 word clue, up to you. Just let us know if ya stick with 3 2 1.

A three-word clue implementing the two-step concept (thanks Vilnas) leading to a one-word Tolkien answer.

In other words:

The clue will consist of three words that may or may not be Tolkien related.
This clue will lead to something (any number of words) that is not Tolkien related.
That intermediate step will lead back to a one-word Tolkien related (from the canon) word.

So the second part of the puzzle does not have to be restricted to only two words. Dunno if that makes things simpler or not but there ya go! Lol.
